Written by on June 26, 2018

Mamoudou Gassama, the Malian immigrant who climbed an apartment building in Paris to save the life of a dangling 4-year-old last month, was honored at the 2018 BET Awards at Microsoft Theater on Sunday night, June 24, in Los Angeles, California.

The 22-year-old received a humanitarian award alongside Anthony Borges, James Shaw Jr., Justin Blackman, Naomi Wadler, and Shaun King.

The “Spider-Man Parisian” has since been granted a French citizenship by French President Emmanuel Macron, and was also given an enrollment to be a firefighter at the French fire service with a pay of 600 euros monthly for his humanitarian gesture.
